Sell anything you want, says the 'plex... but no drugs, no booze and no stolen material. But what's this in the Terms & Conditions? Users are also prohibited from using Checkout to sell Occult goods (that's "materials, goods or paraphernalia for use in satanic, sacrificial, or related practices" to you and me).

No word yet on how much commission PayPal makes from sales of inverted crosses and ouija boards, but we're glad the Goobot is looking out for us.
